Reviews

'I can't imagine any Christmas recording bringing more happiness' (Gramophone)

'New life is breathed into the old favourites, and I guarantee that whatever your musical tastes, you will be bowled over by the quality of the music. Head and shoulders above in this field. Enjoy' (Cross Rhythms)» More
This German lullaby-carol first appeared in print in Scheidt’s Tablaturbuch of 1650, though it may have been written before then, either by Scheidt himself or by an unknown author. J. S. Bach’s version (in the form of a melody and figured bass) was included in Schemelli’s Gesangbuch of 1736.
